Polaris
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
As we sail on
A cerulean tide
The North Star shimmers in your eye
As we sail on
A cerulean tide
We left behind those heavy times
We let the sail open wide
When you’re out on the horizon
Give a nod, the little bear
As you float you ponder
you wonder how you’ll really fare
It’s our ship, our tiny boat
On the calm and wicked sea
In a bottle you toss a note
Sail on the twilight’s breeze
Time to pull the anchor
From the bottom of the sand
Falling from the ceiling
Catching stardust in our hands
When you see Polaris
Won’t you keep it in your sights?
Hold the helm steady
Don’t get left behind
When the boat starts rocking
Big waves look like wine
Some will pack their fortune
Some will steal it every time
I don’t have much room for them
To stow away in my mind
When you see Polaris
We know we’re doing fine
Flying fish always shimmer
When they swim the Milky Way
Well did you ever question
Those storm clouds held at bay?
Listen close, hear their cries
The great whales are down below
They’re so close when they rise
From their depths so unknown
In the dark we skate across
The water turned to glass
We had to leave the harbor
And all the things of the past
When you see Polaris
Won’t you keep it in your sights?
Hold the helm steady
Don’t get left behind
When the boat starts rocking
Big waves look like wine
Some will pack their fortune
Some will steal it every time
I don’t have much room for them
To stow away in my mind
When you see Polaris
We know we’re doing fine
As we sail on
A Cerulean tide
We left behind those heavy times
We let the sail open wide
